I enjoyed Trys Mudford’s explanation of making rounded triangular boxes. It was a very real-world client need, and I do tend to prefer reading about technical solutions to real problems over theoretical ones.

I joked while talking with Adam Argyle on ShopTalk the other day that there is more CSS in one of the demos we were looking at that I have in my whole CSS brain. We were looking at his Carousel Gallery which is one of the more impressive sets of CSS demos I’ve ever seen. […]... read more
